2019 Honda Pilot is a family hauling home run

It's been a top contender among three-row crossovers since the third generation debuted for 2016, and the updated, tech-infused 2019 model is even better.

A Porsche 911 S brought Manuel Carrillo III home from the hospital after he was born, so it's no surprise his lifelong trajectory has centered on cars, leading him to a robust career creating rich automotive media for publications prior to joining CNET.

The Southern California native briefly lived in Sydney, and is proud to have developed a barely passable Aussie accent. He also serves on the board of directors of the Motor Press Guild. When not reviewing cars or nerding out on OEM premium audio, you can find manual-labor-averse Manuel doing his best to convince his closest friends to fix the very Porsche that delivered him home.

The third-generation Honda Pilot gets a host of updates for the 2019 model year, including a new front fascia with standard LED low beams.

Out back, the Pilot gets new taillights with integrated LED back-up lights and a new rear bumper.

The Pilot's interior is still as well-built and comfortable as ever.

The majority of the 2019 Honda Pilot's changes have to do with tech, the centerpiece of which is the SUV's new 8-inch touchscreen that now includes a volume knob.

You can even rearrange the Android-based infotainment system's app tiles just like you can with your smartphone.

A new 7-inch TFT display in the instrument cluster replaces last year's 4.2-inch unit.

The Honda Pilot seats up to eight, but our top-trim tester seats only seven thanks to its second-row captain's chairs.

With 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, the Pilot's 3.5-liter V6 moves the 4,319-pound SUV with a respectable amount of shove.

It's surprising how the Pilot can corner with a minimal amount of body roll.
